printk: fix parsing of "brl=" option
commit ae6c33ba6e37eea3012fe2640b22400ef3f2d0f3 upstream. Commit bbeddf52adc1 ("printk: move braille console support into separate braille.[ch] files") moved the parsing of braille-related options into _braille_console_setup(), changing the type of variable str from char* to char**. In this commit, memcmp(str, "brl,", 4) was correctly updated to memcmp(*str, "brl,", 4) but not memcmp(str, "brl=", 4). Update the code to make "brl=" option work again and replace memcmp() with strncmp() to make the compiler able to detect such an issue.
